Commenting on what we said last
week about WeIch's bombastic farce of
campaign in Buckman town, the
Roya|ton Banner has the following
SARCASTIC remarks:
We think WEIGH ought to claim glory
for the way he Influenced the voter
out there. In the first place his
nationality was against him. And he
had at different times resided good
deal in the town. And :heu to start
out man Of his princely disposition
with paltry $50 in bis pocket, and
expect him to do justice to himself {!
Such odds against a man are not easily
overcome. GIVE him the same credit
you do Stoll, anyway. But Little Falls
always acts that way. Come back !!
William. come back, across the bloody
clasm, and we'll forgive Your giant
whacks. your fooI-yarns and your
spasms.

Prominent Visitors.

Col. Broadwater and Major Maginnis
who arrived in town late Wednesday, left
about 10 a. m. next day for Fort Benton,
where they will meet Mr.. Hill and party
to-day. Colonel Broadwater who has
given close attention to the construction
of the Helena and Butte division of the
Montana Central reports satisfactory pro-
gress in that quarter. He is pleased with
the signs of growth which he saw here
and predicts great prosperity for all north
ern Montana.
Major Maginnis walked about the city
observing with critical eye
the new buildings and expressed much
sati>faction at the progress which has been
made. Since his formervisit here Major Ma
ginnis has been to the end of the Montana
extension and he also met Mr. Hill IN st.
Paul, where he spoke a good word with
success for Fort Benton.
President Hill is on his way to Fort
Benton and Great Falls. He came in his
private car to the end of the track, whence
he is, proceeding by conveyances that
have been provided, over the line OF the
road to Fort Assinaboine. A conveyance
was to he sent out from Fort Benton to-
day to meet Mr.. Hill at 24-Mile Springs
and convey him to the city. After visit
ing Great Falls Mr.. Hill may return to
Fort Benton and go thence to St. Paul by
steamer and railroad or he may return to
the end of the Manitoba track where his
car will await him.
In Fort Benton the approach of Mr.. Hill
who is accompanied probably by Mr.. Ea-
gan and others has caused quite stir and
preparations are being made to give him
public welcome. The Rtrer Press of
Tuesday said: "Mr. j. J. Hill, the head
and front OF the Manitoba railroad sys-
tenn and the most enterprising and able
of the railroad magnates in the west, will
be in the city in few days, his first visit
to this favored portion of northern Mon
tana. Fort Benton is already under obli-
cations to Mr.. Hill for favors granted, and
under the liberal policy that distinguish
es his railroad management will doubt
less have further reasons to regard the
Manitoba chieftain with good favor. 1t
need not be suggested to our enterprising
citizens that his scjourn here should be
made as pleasant as possible and that he
is entitled to the "treedom of the city"
and all proper consideration. There is at
least cne very important matter affecting
the interests Of the city, as we'll as other
towns in the territory on the line of the
new road, that should be prop erly present
ed to him during his sojourn. To that
end a meeting of the board of trade ought
to be held at once, so that this matter and
probably others that may be suggested
may be acted upon in the proper man
nero

The Late Mormon President.

SALT LAKE CRY, July 28.-John Tay
lor, the president of the Mormon church,
whose death was made public yesterday
has been somewhere near Salt Lake for the
last two years, but his hiding place was,
unknown to the Gentiles. His funeral
will take place tomorrow at the taber-
nacle.
Joseph T. Smith, nephew of Joseph
Smith. the founder of the Mormon church,
may succeed Taylor as president, but
George @. Cannon is and has been the
real ruler of the Mormons.
Taylor had rather busy career. He
was born in England, in 1S0S and became
Methodist preacher in his youth. He
went to Canada in 1929 and joined the
Mormon church there. He became an
active supporter of Joseph Smith, who
sent him to England in 1889. He was the
first to preach Mormonism in Ireland.
Taylor returned to the United States and
was present when the people killed Joseph
Smith and broke up the Nauvoo settle
ment. He subsequently edited Mormon
papers. In 1880, he was elected president
of the Mormon church in place of Brig
ham Young He. had eight wives and
many children.
